"When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at this rock perhaps 100 times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the 101st blow, it will split in two and I know it was not that blow that did it. But all that had gone before." - Jacob Riis

spursfan, no b.s. here... He was seen at the Huebner Medical Bldg. where Spurs Dr.s are located... actually my source even overheard some talk about if NVE would be able to handle the Spurs new inclined stairs workout at the practice facility...

I remember Nick the Quick of old killing us in the Western Conference Finals back in 2003. Not the same player but a solid backup point guard who could handle the ball under pressure...unlike Beno. That's not to bash Beno though I still like him and think he is and will be a good ballplayer.

Well, it does sound about right... Dr. Schmidts office is in that facility. Interesting....

can i ask who your sources are????????? do we need anythign bogus story floating here???? please tell me you have some credible sources? spurs employees? friends?

Yo, bro, calm down... My time is too valuable to be on this site startin' rumors. I'm a Spurs fan just like you are and I appreciate all the TRUE info that is put on here, especially Amente's. I just thought I could contribute a little info myself...

i like it. i'm expecting big things. can you imagine landing nicky van smack and finley in a two day period?

and think about the kind of lineup we would be able to throw out there when we need a clutch hoop late in the game: van exel, gino, finley, horry, duncan. how many game winners has that group hit collectively over the years?

I dont know how to take this.. Does this mean that finley has already informed the spurs on his decision and the spurs went ahead and went in another direction or can a Finley and NVE combo actually happen?

Either way, if we sign fin, nick or both i can't wait to play dallas next season just to see their fans destroyed by the fact that 1 or 2 of the best players from that 03 team, their best team by the way, are now spurs!

My guess, the Spurs are speaking with NVE and intend to make him an offer regardless of what happens with Finley. Of course, if Finley comes to SA, then the NVE offer would have to be for the Vets minimum.

How about this.... could this influence Finley to go ahead and come here???? You know...stacking players like Miami... Maybe Pop mentioned it among his "plugs" to Finley... you never know....

Wow. This is big if it happens. I don't post often, especially in the summer, so WOW. If the Spurs happen to land NVE and Finley they have to strike even more fear into the NBA. Not yet, but big ups to the FO if this happens, I will be simply amazed and even more excited for the season to begin.

Tell me about it, sahoopster... I'm with you in the post dept., but when i heard the news, i had chicken pimples all over just thinking about that scenario.....

I dont see where this would be a surprise. He stated he would like to play in Texas with a contender. I have constantly been keeping track of potential NVE suitors and their roster availability like Dallas and Houston in which they both have full rosters. Denver has lately been talking about signing Spreewell and basically pushing NVE to the bottom of their list. This would be an awesome move for the Spurs and think excitement should be the feeling as opposed to surprise if its true.

Yeah, it's simply huge if it pans out.

The Spurs will still play the game the right way, the way they play and the style that wins them champions. The difference between a Spurs stacked roster from a Heat stacked roster, is nobody on the Spurs will ***** at their teammates to throw them the ball all the time, only when it matters the most, and when they do what they do in the style and context of their play and system.

This is a scary scenario because everybody knows how unselfish this whole team is, and how Timmy, Manu and Tony, always finds you.

I have no doubts that this would work, the Spurs are the Spurs, but with NVE and Finley, this Spurs team would be unbeatable on most nights if not all the time.

No hype, you take a championship roster and tweak it minorly with two proven veteran leaders in NVE and Finley, what you have is an F5 tornado.

I wonder how well Finley and NVE got along in Dallas. Maybe NVE to the Spurs could help sway Finleys decision.

I wonder how Horry and NVE got along in LA and wonder how that affects NVE decision. I think they were on the same team for like a year or a year and a half in LA and it was a while back but Horry could have talked to NVE about coming here.

I talked with a friend of mine just a few minutes ago who played in a tourney in Louisiana with NVE and said he looked good, he didn't look hurt at all and was dropping treys on people. This person did tell me though that afterward he had ice on his knees and his ankle. Obviously, the NBA is a lot different than some summer tourney and I am not a doctor, but it is still a good indicator that he is ok.
